Even so while many people know about the benefits of exercise few are doing it Perry said A survey of baby boomers by the Alliance for Aging Research found that only a third of people born between 1946 and 1964 exercise regularly "The baby boomers are still being a little lazy particularly the younger ones" he said June Norman 58 of Milford Conn said she has seen many benefits from her exercise regimen She has been running for 25 years and tests herself in the New Haven Road Race each Labor Day On Monrace 5 day she ran the seconds faster than she did the year before to finish second in her age group Her times overall have stayed about the same since she hit her 50s "I'd be interested to know why You would think you would get slower or drop off quickly" Norman said She said she trains conservatively to avoid injuries and runs competitively twice a year for fun "I certainly feel a lot healthier than some of my friends" Norman said "There is life after menopause" Norman grew up in an era that discouraged women from exercising 1983 to 1999 The top male runners in that age group improved about 8 seconds each year The study reinforces the notion that many older people grow weaker not simply because of age but because they do not use their muscles as much as they did in their youth said Jokl a professor of orthopedics at the Yale School of Medicine Researchers expect older runners will continue to improve over time as they try new training techniques and as American culture increasingly encourages older people especially women to exercise You do not have to be a marathoner to see the benefits either JoM and other researchers said Regular exercise of any kind helps lower cholesterol blood sugar and blood pressure keeps weight down and improves mental outlook BY DIANE SCARPONI 4 Thursday September 9 2004 '1 i 12 ——u — 71 r'l 1 N'" I k s 4 :: : ' Ct :: r''- - t t - l''''' i I t — I I i ' 1 - r -41 1 A - t t “IT” Your favorites are now colored with crayon-brig- The Hearts Collection features a weather-coatefabric with blue sky lining a d signature heart charm - hearts! : lo111w r Vk L' P dor - - - :- Heart Tassel Tote : ' ' ' - iP (c: k t ' : 14 '' 't r 1 i) 4 - rd"' r -) "' '--- C T c 1 '"-l- 4Nti:i::- k 1 c' 't - 'k l'' b :' i-- ' 1 r ‘vt I ''':ite43'1i A tk'' ::' ''''''' ') I PN'Ni0 I I 4 li 4' I 11 -‘ : ' Jr 1 i III I It 1 t 41' ! 11 ' 4 ' m) t t -t 1!11II t '') :o) i I its ' s ' i 't ii - 4 k t' i 4 t l' ' 14 t''' 44't '''' 2 2:1 X 1 y i3 rt" )' ti - '4 ' t i ) fl f ' t ( s ' 1:e44k- e'' ' ''y kit: i 1L a f ::l: l' I i f il ) 1 1 1 ! i I 0i 'ili" 12500 - 1jr ' :4 - 4 ' t 4 I 4 ' fr: I i ' ' - 07-- 1 N 1 — t ' o 7 ' 1 t 'L0 - I ' A- 4 ' ' 1 1::14i it ) - c C71 a detachable strap 1 ‘ - 1 I: Heart Ttny Tassel Tote features four inside pockets a:nd ' ' f 0 11 II loT 'I I 441 i''' r A l'' r' features two compartments one divided zipper compartment and 8 card slots 14500 Cf------- "Ir:") 444 4 l' ' -- ' ' t Ni Illir'''': ' ''''' 7 '''i - ‘ I Heart Medium Zip Around "H"---- e 4P7 ' ' N 1-'- - L '''''''''- - t tt 11 l'J''''') C It:''' ) ' z :::! - ' I '' - ri: V 'i i4ke - rs! 1 ii N $ ' I '44-S-- i I1-:- - 4 ‘ 4-- r It ' - n 0 I 1 I 17 1 1' :t r I t ' ‘ 1- ik: : I 1''l 4: - r 1 ' 11 ' '1' : !
